Narrative:

After landing, the tower controller told the first officer to exit the runway and hold short of another active runway. We did, and then the controller cleared us to cross and contact ground on other side. I, as the PF, thought we were cleared to the ramp and stay with him, as the PNF told me to take right turns after crossing the runway. The ground controller asked us why we were taxiing, which alerted me to the fact that we were not actually cleared to the ramp. There were no traffic conflicts and no runway incursions. I think I was just not paying enough attention to the controller's instructions of what to do after clearing the runway. Depending too much on the pilot in the right seat. Possible human factors could be conflict within the flight department, leading to starting the flight on an already stressed note.

Title: CPR CREW TAXIES WITHOUT CLRNC AFTER XING A RWY AT RICHMOND, VA.

Narrative: AFTER LNDG, THE TWR CTLR TOLD THE FO TO EXIT THE RWY AND HOLD SHORT OF ANOTHER ACTIVE RWY. WE DID, AND THEN THE CTLR CLRED US TO CROSS AND CONTACT GND ON OTHER SIDE. I, AS THE PF, THOUGHT WE WERE CLRED TO THE RAMP AND STAY WITH HIM, AS THE PNF TOLD ME TO TAKE R TURNS AFTER XING THE RWY. THE GND CTLR ASKED US WHY WE WERE TAXIING, WHICH ALERTED ME TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE NOT ACTUALLY CLRED TO THE RAMP. THERE WERE NO TFC CONFLICTS AND NO RWY INCURSIONS. I THINK I WAS JUST NOT PAYING ENOUGH ATTN TO THE CTLR'S INSTRUCTIONS OF WHAT TO DO AFTER CLRING THE RWY. DEPENDING TOO MUCH ON THE PLT IN THE R SEAT. POSSIBLE HUMAN FACTORS COULD BE CONFLICT WITHIN THE FLT DEPT, LEADING TO STARTING THE FLT ON AN ALREADY STRESSED NOTE.
