Narrative:
Aircraft Y climbing from 16000 ft to FL220. Aircraft X climbing from 16000 ft to FL270 on apparent diverging course. Aircraft X advises 270 degree deviation for WX. Aircraft Y issued 17000 ft for traffic, but advises he 'needs higher.' aircraft Y issued FL180. Aircraft X told to expedite climb through FL190 for traffic.
