You can find the answer to this right at the very beginning of the scene.
Benvolio and Mercutio are together walking on a street. Benvolio tells Mercutio that Tybalt, who is a relative of Juliet, has sent a letter to Romeo's house. In the letter, he is challenging Romeo to fight a duel with him.
Mercutio and Benvolio are worried about this because Tybalt is a very good fencer. They are afraid he will kill Romeo.
When Romeo shows up in the scene, they stop talking about this and start teasing him about Rosaline. They still have no idea what is going on with him and Juliet.
