Yennefer knows she should be more thankful of the truth that yes, any progress is better than no progress. The Summoned being here to help means that progress can happen faster, too, but it still isn't enough. Not yet.
"Did any of the rifts open here? In the Nether, I mean. I'd heard word they were all across the main continent but every time we tried to pin one down it would change locations."
Curiosity is part of what fuels her question now, but also perhaps there's something to say about the rifts themselves. A dual opening, perhaps, or even somewhere where the magic itself would have to be pulled to create the rift in the first place. Yennefer's brows are furrowed as her mind whirrs with possible theories even before Anneth answers the question, which also means that the moment Anneth's attention is back on her, Yennefer has to blink herself free from her own thoughts.
"A variety of them, really. I've taken up studying the particular brand of herbology and alchemy here in Abraxas - and with it some non-magical healing methods - but it is the alchemy that I've put most of my focus. Thorne has this particular sort of crystal that's mined from underground they use for healing potions, and I've been looking into the components there. But, really, what's caught most of my attention is our relationship with Ikorr and their willingness to let us have access to a rare sap they produce. Our access is limited, of course, but the benefits of the sap have been... plentiful." It's possible that she's being a bit forthright with the information about Ikorr, but her focus is so wholly on the dragons at the moment, she doesn't really take the time to care. She looks down at her hands, opens and then closes her own palms. "And then there is healing from the Summoned themselves - I know my chaos provides some level of it," as Anneth just witnessed. "And there are others who have come into various forms of magical healing through the Singularity."
Anneth doesn't quite need to know why Yennefer had been so focused on healing these last few months. It's not as thought it matters now that her chaos has returned. But the information is there, and Yennefer intends to use it.
