Narrative:

Aircraft Y delayed responding to a turn and a climb clearance to advise he had 'a TCASII on an aircraft X, 5 mi, 400 ft above us?' I reissued the clearance, but by then it was too late. Aircraft Y was mishandled prior to talking to me. He did not know why he was at this altitude in WX and chop.
