Kuralla and the Sages didn't hit any mermaid societies in their worldwide trip; she just saw a few scattered ones while they were visiting one of the ocean Gorgon islands.  This means Kuralla still knows very little about mermaids, and she's extremely curious about them; she's just a smidge too naive to have recognized that the Sages probably had reason to yelp and rush away whenever they saw any nearby.  So she's excited about this -- she thinks it sounds like a treat!
