Narrative:

I was working the r-side at sector xx. I climbed aircraft X and had a j-ring on aircraft Y. At the time when I climbed aircraft X I thought I had enough room to climb him with no problem. Aircraft Y was headed in a different direction. I got busy descending aircraft for ZZZ and ZZZ1. Training was going on at the d-side position and the trainee was having a hard time keeping up so I was doing a lot of the entries and telling the trainee what to do. I feel like if I had a cpc D side or someone more experienced helping it would have been easier to track everything. Aircraft Y was in a area of high traffic volume and density. Possibly traffic with ZZZ2 arrivals and departures and overflights in that area. Also with him maneuvering there in the future I will use vertical separation and assign a heading to aircraft Y. My comfort level with aircraft Y is low and thought he would be able to turn faster.
