Narrative:
I had switched aircraft #2 to ind hi. I proceeded to resolve other traffic sits. I descended aircraft #1 from FL330 to FL290. I went on to resolve other sits. When I realized that aircraft #1 was traffic for aircraft #2, I tried to resolve it by turning aircraft #1 and coordinated with ind hi to turn aircraft #2.
