Narrative:

I was working dr-east and training. I was the instrument. Our departure aircraft, an small aircraft, was climbing to 5000'. Ar-east was working an atx inbound at 4000'. Ar-east stated verbally (not on tape) that he would miss us. We said, 'ok' (not on tape). Ar-east failed to avoid us, and both aircraft lost standard sep prior to applying visibility sep. This could have been prevented by ar-east staying in ar-east airspace and/or proper coordination. I thought I could trust the controller working ar-east.
