Narrative:

I was holding short of runway 17L on taxiway B8. The controller instructed me to taxi across runway 17L and contact ground control. I acknowledged and proceeded to cross runway 17L. While on runway 17L, I looked left to find a seminole rolling out. I would have liked to have known if the other aircraft was instructed to hold short of our crossing taxiway.
