If you check the animations included, there is a "skipping" animation, just next to the running animations. For reference, look for BOTH_RUN4.
Curiously, this animation looks very much like the way small kids keep up with tall people. They do something really similar to that animation, which makes me think that adding it as a second walking speed would be interesting. Make it something between current walking and current running.
That way, small kids get to use their additional speed when keeping up, and they even get to look more kiddish with that animation, imo. I even did a modview test by putting Ruluk in one window, skipping, and Kyle in another window, walking. They looked really good together.
