Dialogue
When you approach him, he will say "This stone used to contain something. Possibly, that Daedric fiend loose in the ruins." while writing down notes.

Speaking to him:
:''"Yes, what is it? Not much time to talk. Important magic to cast, here. There's a Daedra loose, and a binding spell is our best chance for getting that beast under control."
:What's going on here?
:"I'm with the Lion Guard—we were responding to reports of a Goblin infestation. Find them we did, but a fiend ambushed us as we attacked. Daedric, I think, forcing us to retreat to the entrance of the ruin. And now the Goblins have hemmed us in."
:What will you do now?
:"Need to repair this Welkynd Stone next to me—it's the focus of a powerful binding spell. I think it contained the freed Daedra, and unfortunately, it seems our Goblin friends have broken it. They've made four of the pieces into totems."
:Perhaps I can get those pieces of the stone back.
:"We need the Stone complete to contain the Daedra, finish off the Goblins—you have my thanks. I hope you fathom what you offer. Sir Edgard, my second in command, and his squad already have one piece. They've gone looking for more, but haven't returned."
:I'll take care of this.
:"I hope so. Dame Narine is not known for her patience."

Once you return with the stone fragments:
:Battlemage Gaston:'''''"Ah, you've returned! And with the stone fragments in hand!"

If you speak to him here:
:"You've got the missing stone fragments? Let's see if we can activate it,then. You go ahead."

:Battlemage Gaston: "Can you feel it? That energy in the air! The spell is working!"

Speaking to him after using the spell:
:"Gales of Kynareth! We have a working Daedric containment cell! I'll be the envy of every mage from here to High Rock. Of course, I'll tell them you helped."
:What's next?
:"We're not done quite yet. The spell will require a few moments to fully take effect. But I can handle things from here."

Once the quest is completed there will be some further dialogue between Zix and Gaston.
:Zix the Deceiver: "What in Oblivion? What is this? Release me, at once! Release me, or I'll tear this plane apart!"
:Veteran Mage Gaston: "Ignore it. Just empty threats. It knows it's trapped."
:Zix the Deceiver: "You insufferable mortals! I'll shroud you all in unending dream, make you face your worst nightmares! You'll die clawing your eyes out, I swear it! 
:Veteran Mage Gaston: ''"It's losing the fight. The stone just needs to hold a little longer."
:Zix the Deceiver: "I have plenty of time to wait, mortal. Eventually you'll slip, and your prison will fail. Then I will cover you in nightmares."

After Zix has been successfully contained Gaston will have something else to say.

:"The containment cell will hold. We won't be disturbed now, as we return to out primary goal of slaughtering the sub-human primitives. The Goblins, I mean.

Notes
During the dialogue between Zix and Gaston the subtitles and his own label changes to "Veteran Mage Gaston". His label changes back to "Battlemage Gaston" afterwards.
